Re: Suicide attempt,that almost succeeded.But I only wanted pain to stop

Just for information:

there's a relatively new procedure that uses electricity but on such a low level you wouldn't feel it if the electrode touched you. IFIC, they use two electrodes, inserted actually into the brain, in a place that has to do with cognitive agility and in one that has to do with what they say is best described as "joy". For better than 3/4 of patients, the result is an outlook change that is radical, where the world seems delightful and problems seem challenges instead of depressing or defeating.

I have no idea where it can be done, or how much it costs. There are probably still research programs, which generally love having volunteers, so it may be available for the cost of getting there.

Side effect: for a small portion of patients, there was also an apparent rise in IQ... I don't even have a guess as to what that's about.

"Thirty-one* states allow all qualified citizens to carry concealed weapons. In those states, homosexuals should embark on organized efforts to become comfortable with guns, learn to use them safely and carry them. They should set up Pink Pistols task forces, sponsor shooting courses and help homosexuals get licensed to carry. And they should do it in a way that gets as much publicity as possible. "

Is that "deep brain stimulation?" I've heard of that.

Americans need to keep their guns so they can protect themselves from gun violence just like Nancy Lanza did. And like Chris Kyle did. And like Gabby Giffords did. And like Tom Clements did. And like Michael Piemonte. And Joseph Wilcox.

It would be a form of that. Another is a method where the brain is stimulated while a person is learning a cognitive skill -- and the skill remains high afterward.

Hey Chrizze, when I saw your avatar I immediately felt 'I know 'him''. I am aware that many people who use forums will use avatars that are not actually themselves but people they like etc, and so I didn't assume it was you, but noticed you recently tell others here it is.

Of course I cannot have known and seen you before because I have never been to Finland and even if I had that doesn't mean I would have known you lol. But I just thought I would mention this. Strange

Chrizze, i know everyone has made their best efforts to help you in this thread and take the chance to learn a bit about you, even if the internet doesn't help to get to know someone properly.

Now that you see less need for posting in this thread, however, I hope you will join in other threads about any number of subjects.

Re: Suicide attempt,that almost succeeded.But I only wanted pain to stop

Johann: - no,I am not feeling suicidal.So much from non-existence of these things,but this is not ment for you,Ludolfo,I believe,that there is both cases,or perhaps I am doped rest of my life,but who cares,if alternative is stepping in front of a train?

Thanks,Kulindahr.I have always had high respect to you.You are quite obviously,a version of a "renaissance man","something from everything,and everything from something ",in what comes to your knowledge.That's what I try to be too.And quite often I amaze people with my knowledge,..but only when they are asking something.

An expert in neurolinguistics named Leonard Newmark pioneered the method--a technique he calls modeling--in the 1970s. It involves taking a favorite author of yours, and copying the text, longhand, page by page, hour after hour. After you do this for a time, the rhythm of the language begins to become automatic--you'll know where to place commas, where to use prepositions, and so on.

Heh -- I used this method without knowing about it when I taught remedial reading comprehension and composition in college. I used it as a part of a strategy based on the principle that they way to learn good composition and improve comprehension is to read and to copy out good writing. My classes focused on reading authors whose English was well nigh impeccable, elegant, and powerful.

I didn't do the hour after hour copying thing, but I did ask my students to copy out by hand their favorite chapters.

Well, maybe.

There's a good reason for my approach of different authors -- no falling into one single style. After a bit, my students developed their own styles.

You will see significant progress after only 200 hours. If you want to become really, really good, 1000 hours will do the magic. If you feel like one of the rarities who wants to take this to an extreme, you'll need 10,000 hours to become a first-class expert.

Only two rules exist--you must use the same author, and you must copy the text down in longhand. (Shorthand or typing won't do.)

If you have no interest in this, you have a whole lot of other opportunities to learn--assuming that you have enough free time in the first place.

Good luck to you in your endeavors. I hope you'll keep us in touch about your welfare.

I will improve my english in many ways,but I can forget The Longhand...I do not remember it anymore,thought it was well educated in school,but then computers came...you know the rest.I bought a fountain pen few months ago,..it helps me to write,because my problem with handwriting is,that I am too impatient.with fountain pen you have to write slower.I will be on other forums here,and check this from time to time. I do know the correct writing on the english language much better,than my writings would indicate.The reason is very much the same: - Impatience.Patience,Obi-Wan,patience.

Re: Suicide attempt,that almost succeeded.But I only wanted pain to stop

I am still alive,.. I believe,that meds had helped. I believe,I mentioned earlier,that I got three friends from the mental ward,and we had been having a contact ever since.Two weeks ago,one of us committed suicide.It came out of as blue,as it can be.Considering from where this thread originally started.. Quite rude awakening really.. But if there is anything I learned about this,it is,that in the future,should such thoughts arise again,I would stop at nothing to get any and all the help necessary.

Re: Suicide attempt,that almost succeeded.But I only wanted pain to stop

Psychotropic drugs can be very helpful, but they can also be troublesome. I was on paroxetine when I was a pre-teen, which would never happen now because it has been contraindicated for all patients under 18. Let me tell you, I am lucky to be alive, and so most likely are my classmates. It made me psychotic.

Wellbutrin (buproprion) is a good drug, though. It has done wonders for my partner, who has been on it for years. It levels him out. It makes him less subject to getting himself overwrought. I wish you luck on it.

I can function okay without it, but I do very well on amantadine. It keeps my tempers in check, and it keeps me from being as moody. Although I could live without it, why? It's cheap, and it makes my life easier. Moreover, it is cheap.

so do you mean that this you had been out on the town with this friend and then afterwards he killed himself?

Re: Suicide attempt,that almost succeeded.But I only wanted pain to stop

I have heard this quite a few times. parents and friends of those that have killed themselves claiming they were very happy, or nothing seemed to be worrying them beforehand!
Now I don't know if this is---and I an in way am trying to offend you here Chrizze. I know this must be very personal for you and if you don't want to discuss about it like this I will understand. It is just I am a very inquisitive person, and have had serious Blues myself. Now I don't know if this is because people close to people (and people in general) have become dulled to really observing people in deep ways, body language, behind the mask, OR it is because the person is genuinely happy because they look forward to ending their life.

Re: Suicide attempt,that almost succeeded.But I only wanted pain to stop

I have read,and,in fact,heard from some people,that this can occure.But something in me is saying,that this was not the case.(being happy about forecoming end of life).About this "being dulled",I have personally been devastated in past couple of years,in different incidents,how badly I am able to judge the character of the person.Either something had happened to me,or the world,or both,..or then,maybe I only had an illusion of being a good judge of a character of the person.

Re: Suicide attempt,that almost succeeded.But I only wanted pain to stop

well i think that goes for us all Chrizze. many people now when you look around seem more interested in their little hand-held computers than they do the person stood next to them. I have seen this time and time again. I think a big part of the desire for suicide is a deep sense of isolation--dont know if this was part of your feeling? Of just not feeling part of anything or in tune with anyone. EVEN when in a social situation which can be even worse. When everyone around 'seems' to be all having fun

Re: Suicide attempt,that almost succeeded.But I only wanted pain to stop

Yes,that was my feeling.Somewhat subjective,of course,.. But in our modern,western,ultracapitalist,profit-only-driven world,I don't feel that feeling was completely..inaccurate either.If I take one example,almost none of my friends lives in my hometown anymore,because in many trades,there is simply no jobs anymore.This used to be heavy industry town,heavy industry now gone,by the way,mostly from whole country.It really scares the shit out of me,to think about having to face old age,in this sort of setting.as one of my friends cynically said about this.. "I don't think that full-scale nuclear world war would be so bad idea after all".

Re: Suicide attempt,that almost succeeded.But I only wanted pain to stop

Yes exactly. I have heard that the rate of people killing themselves has shot up throughout the world due to the so-called 'cuts' and the misery it all brings.
It reminds me of reading about this on Native American reservations some years ago, because I have always been interested in this, because you know I strongly challenge the mental illness myth. That to me it is natural that when peoples lives are made to feel SO meaningless, dull, and dead, that people will feel hopeless and de--pressed

I am very keen, Chrizze, when I explore about deep issues to look for etymology of words. This is because I am aware that myths use language, and often people can become unconscious of the terminology they use--its real original meaning, roots etc--and these words can then be manipulated by others to mean what they choose them to mean.
So take 'depression':

depression (n.)
late 14c. as a term in astronomy, from Old French depression (14c.) or directly from Latin depressionem (nom. depressio), noun of action from pp. stem of deprimere "to press down, depress" (see depress).

Attested from 1650s in the literal sense; meaning "dejection, depression of spirits" is from early 15c. (as a clinical term in psychology, from 1905); meteorological sense is from 1881 (in reference to barometric pressure); meaning "a lowering or reduction in economic activity" was in use by 1826; given a specific application (with capital D-) by 1934 to the one that began worldwide in 1929. For "melancholy, depression" an Old English word was grevoushede.

Hmm I must remember that, 'I am very grevoushede' lol But those definitions 'to press down' is what I feel it can feel like. It is like you have no power whatsoever isn't it?

Re: Suicide attempt,that almost succeeded.But I only wanted pain to stop

powerlessness. I was reading about this very young boy who killed himself a while ago. he was bullied in school being called gay all the time, and treated very mean,and there didn't seem any help for him. and one day he comes home and hangs himself. So many children will feel this sense of powerlessness. I did when I was at school--all the way through from infants to highschool. It was this dread I had of that place. Children are forced to go, and if you dont like it your fucked. you THINK you have no choice. You actually do, you can say 'no i am NOT going!' but the consequences of rebelling are frightening so you stick with the hell your in. thats how I see it now. school was made to seem like EVERYTHING. admittedly somethings you have no choice over

Re: Suicide attempt,that almost succeeded.But I only wanted pain to stop

No,I was not,and I am not aware,that she was either.I was on special class,which had max.10 pupils.Reason was,that I had "learning problems",.. Of course I had,I got Immensely bored..I would have been able to do things twice faster,than rest of them.. But our primary school system was directly copied from East Germany,.. Not exactly encouraging you for damn thing.So,perhaps I was bullied,.. By the whole system itself,which was insult to my intelligence.

Yes, the system itself is the biggest bully. Not only does it bully children and their parents to make sure the children HAVE to attend these schools, but as you know, from your own experience, they stigmatize children with labels like "slow learner" "learning problems" "special pupils" and also with bogus disorders like "ADD" "ADHD" where they will even coerce kids to take drugs now!

Have you heard of John Taylor Gatto? he was a teacher who now exposes the whole system and shows how the 'education' system was brought about etc. Apparently in 19th century with its first enforcement with bayonets to drive people to send their kids to schools started in Prussia which is Germany, and this system was copied by rest of the world.

I see these schools as same as open prisons. yes, the kid can walk away from them but doing so can bring serious consequences for themselves and family. The bullying case I read, where the child killed themself, there was also a series of similar suicides of children at the same school, but the school denied that there was bullying because they had an 'anti-bullying policy'! This assures it will continue. They also are usually reluctant to admit that the bullying is to do with homophobia.
